Porto airport is what I consider to be my home airport. Even though nowadays I live far from it and the number of airport visits per year are just a few. Last year it reached 15 million passengers for the first time and this year should be another record breaking year. On the 4th of August I had the...

I've visited Lisbon in late july, only doing spotting on mornings and late afternoons, avoiding the harsh sun and not so good light. A log of the aircrafts seen during those 3 days is available on the "Spotting Rest of Europe" section. 22nd https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ...

Hello everyone Between 22 and 24 of July I was in Lisbon. Although not on a spotting trip, I had time make a few visits to the airport. I would stay between sunrise and 11am and between 5pm and sunset. Lisbon is no longer a place to go if you want to see bizjets (Cascais is the place to be). Yet, th...

Hi everyone Today I bring to you some afternoon photos from Lisbon airport, that I took last month. This was my first time spotting a SkyUp Europe aircraft.

Hello everyone Last month I visited for the 1st time Castelo Branco (Portugal) aerodrome. There's not much going on here but on the 11th of May the annual Beiras Airshow took place and that drawn a lot of GA aircraft. The Portuguese Air Force was also present with a DHC-1 Chipmunk and a C-295. Notew...

Thanks for the throutlly explanation. Ladder it is! And indeed a good system if you can return it at the end of the trip.
Best regards and once again, a great set of photos!

Indeed a brilliant set of pictures. Aircrafts seem to be posing at the right angle with the right light. All neat from an airfield I didn't knew about. And there is so much more cool stuff on your flickr page... Question: On the FedEx A300 photo I can see your shade plus the fence. Are you using a l...

Thanks for the update. I remember later on that day I've checked that B777 flight on FR24,and it was indeed a couple of hours delayed.

I've had to visit Lisbon last week. Since the weather forecast was showing abundant sunlight (almost 20ºC!), I decided to pack my camera. I've been to the airport on the afternoon of the 23rd and morning/afternoon of the 24th. The photos bellow are shown in chronological order. https://blogger.googl...

I've enjoyed reading this report, as I'm very eager/curious in visiting the Phoenix area.
Thank's for all the information and photos.

Hello everyone On the 21st of November I did spotting at Lisbon on a cloudless day with great Winter light. As the Sun is on a much lower position during this time of the year, afternoon photos were taken as aircraft line up on runway 02 instead of approach shots. https://blogger.googleusercontent.c...

Hi everyone. After the Palma de Mallorca trip I visited Lisbon for planespotting on two different occasions. One in July (25th and 26th) and another one in August (7th until 11th). I'm very picky in tearms of sunlight so I was only doing spotting on the first and last 3/4 hours of the day, when the ...

I've arrived on the 18th of July during the afternoon and 24R/L were in use. On the 19th, 06R/L were ...
